Perfect season over

Not to open a can of worms, but for question #5, does Spain also count historical kingdoms like Leon, Aragon, etc., or just since unification? And similarly, does the UK count pre-unification England and Scotland?

Yeah, this is tricky. Because of the source I used, it's going to include names used pre-unification but ONLY if there has been one to continue the line since unification. For example, if there were 8 King Chads in England in the 500s and then King Chad IX came along last year, that would still count. But if all King Chads happened before Great Britain/UK, then it would be incorrect.

Dates here would be 1707 for UK, 1479 for Spain, and 843 for France

Do we need full name on Sopranos character?

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Tue Sep 05, 2023 8:27 pm

The dog question was a complete mindfuck trying to read the room. I changed my answer 4 times and then just went back to original.

Can barely come up with an educated answer anyway so have no idea if this would matter, but since you take such care with this, #8 is men's soccer/football?

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Thu Sep 07, 2023 8:34 am

Just soccer lolololol. Yes.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Sep 07, 2023 8:36 am

It’s hilarious that Mr. D is repping a Philadelphia team.

I love the football question. Such a trip down memory lane, except for the one guy I can't figure out.
